Blog Tour: Betting on Hope by Debra Clopton

A bet gone wrong. A
small town's meddling. And a cowboy intent on saving his ranch.

Maggie Hope is an advice columnist whose background leaves her with little
advice to give . . . and it's beginning to show. When Maggie fills in at an
interview with champion horse trainer Tru Monahan, the on-camera chemistry
between them is undeniable. Maggie's bosses know this is the opportunity she's
been looking for to launch her career---and their bank accounts. In order to
save her column, Maggie takes Tru up on the bet that he can teach her to ride a
quick-stepping cutting horse like any cowgirl, despite the fact that she has
never been on a horse. And in the meantime, she can get the scoop on the man
under the cowboy hat.

Tru has been on the competition circuit for longer than he'd like, but he knows
it's the only way he can afford to keep the Four of Hearts Ranch that means so
much to his ailing grandfather. So when his sponsors see the opportunity for
Tru's fans to get to know the star on a more intimate level, he knows he must
oblige. To his dismay, Maggie not only invades his small town of Wishing
Springs, but she also invades his heart, and that is something he cannot let
any woman do-for her own good.

In Wishing Springs, Maggie finds what she has always been looking for: a
community and a home. But when her past catches up to her, it threatens
everything, even the tender hope that this town holds all of her heart's
desires.

Betting on Hope is the first in a new series about the Four of Hearts Ranch and the small town of Wishing Springs. It's the first book that I have read by this author and I know it won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Maggie is thrust into learning how to be ride a horse for cutting competition after she makes a bet with Tru. It's the only way to save her beloved advice column. Tru wants nothing to do with reporters, but he needs this to keep his ranch. I loved watching these two slowly come to trust each other. Because that is what needs to come first, trust before the love can settle in. I wanted to kick Tru for holding back. While his reasons were understandable, they were misguided and stubborn. I was really rooting for him to wake up!

Besides the main characters, the peripheral characters in the town really made the story. I loved how the town just embraced Maggie and made her their own. She came in alone and ended up with a big family that would have done anything for her. There are so many more things that happen in this story that I could go on forever. I encourage you to read this sweet, clean romance. I can't wait to visit with the town of Wishing Springs again very soon!
